Who Am I?
My name is Madalyn Woodward and I am a student at South Western High School, class of 2024. This portfolio consists of each art class I've taken throughout my time at SWHS, but only showcases Web Design & Animation, along with Digital Media, both of which I'm taking in my Senior year. When I originally began my high school career, I believed that I had only wanted to learn the traditional forms of art which in my mind consisted of painting and drawing. But over these past few years I've expanded my knowledge in the art of sculpture, ceramics, web design and animation. Art truly is my passion and I wish to become better in my craft over my lifetime. If money didn't matter in this world, my dream would be to live in my home whilst creating pottery, sculptures, paintings and drawings and expanding my knowledge in the arts. |
